i have started today doing incursions with shield domis, going good so far.
i am using 5 domis, 2 basis and 1 loki, no boosts.
still need to get the guns on the domis. thinking of rails, any opinions?
i did some nmc and nco's with an average time of 8-9 minutes.
total price for my fleet would be around 3.5-4B
havent tried the ota's yet tough, never done one before, so im a bit unsure if my tank will hold. min resists in domis are 70%thermal with 619m signature, opinions on if i should try to do the ota's would be nice :P

i have a couple questions i have for you about ota's.
how does the hacking part work? will a t1 data module with minimum skills be enough?
what about the tanking part? any idea how much ehp/sec i would need to have to be able to survive?
how much dps would i need to get decent site times?

I don't hack in OTAs I just shoot stuff to death like player fleets.

My DPS breaks down to this.

Domi DPS is 5145 from drones and 1365 from pulses. 4x t2 dda changing to 3x imperial dda 1x t2 dda only adds 42 dps per domi (294 total) while over doubling the domi cost.

Loki has 136 dps with 1267 alpha

Nestors are now rolling 382 total dps with infiltrators (acolytes in the video). Since I'm one shotting the frigates easily I changed the nestors back to infiltrators for that little extra dps on the cruisers and up.


Years ago I started boxing Vanguards with a level iv scimitar and a level V scimitar with a poorly skilled t1 and t2 mixed vulture pilot for boosts (was still skill training). My dps at the time was a nightmare a navy apoc and two navy harbingers... Yeah 15 minute NCO FTW.. My fits were pretty bad and I didn't know the kill order as well so there were some "oh shit" moments. I stayed with NCOs back then and the occasional NMC (brought my ore).



The more DPS you bring the less repping you will need :P

Still, guys, wouldn't the easiest way to do this be with nightmares and a normal t2 logi cruiser?

I may do what ToolOfSociety is doing at the end of the day, but for simplicity sake, I'd still like to go with nightmares.

Until CCP sees that they were played for fools, that ain't gonna happen unless you use heavy VideoFX

I have done nightmares the same way. It's just a LOT more clicking since the auto-targeting modules are awful. I have been meaning to make some runs again with the NMs.

my personal opinion is that it would be a lot more work, and you would get tired a lot faster than with domis

The biggest issue is that ccp seems convinced that they MUST DO something about ishtars so thus they are nerfing sentries instead...

So they're going to nerf all sentry-capable ships rather than just the ship that is offending their sense of propriety?

Current plan is:
Gardes: -25% Optimal, +66.7% Falloff, -3% Damage, -6.67% Tracking
Curators: -3.1% Damage, -13% Tracking
Bouncers: -3.3% Damage, -12.5% Tracking


Seems CCP wants to turn gardes into autocannons with crap tracking.

I don't always nerf or change the wrong thing, but when I do, I'm CCP.
